## What is Fender Universal Control?

Get the most from your Fender and PreSonus audio interface and mixing products. Fender Universal Control lets you unlock some of your supported product’s most powerful features. Whether you’re dialing in a monitor mix for your Fender Quantum HD or LT audio interface or remotely controlling your PreSonus StudioLive mixer from anywhere in the venue, Fender Universal Control puts flexible mixing and DSP features at your fingertips.

Compatible hardware includes:

● Fender Quantum LT and HD-series interfaces
● PreSonus StudioLive Series III console and rack mixers
● Legacy PreSonus audio interfaces (Quantum ES, Revelator, Studio-series)


As an all-in-one solution, Universal Control’s hardware control options vary by product. Discover what it can do for your supported Fender and PreSonus gear.

Fender Quantum-series interfaces

For Quantum-series interface owners, Universal Control lets you create monitor mixes and control loopback streams. For Quantum HD interfaces, you can also remotely control preamp levels and speaker switching. To use the Universal Control app, you must connect your audio interface to a computer running Universal Control for macOS or Windows and connect your iOS device to the same network as your computer.

StudioLive Series III mixers

Universal Control provides touch-control of your complete mix, plus dynamics, EQ control, effects, monitor mixes, DCA groups, and even AVB networking and routing. You also get control of deeper features like Scenes, Projects, and granular permission control—including max output level limit.

Take control of your StudioLive Series III mix from the audience’s perspective, where it matters most. To use the Universal Control app, you must connect your iOS device to the same wireless network as your StudioLive mixer. Note: Universal Control for StudioLive is optimized for iPad use. A separate app, QMix-UC app, is optimized for iPhone screen sizes.

Legacy PreSonus audio interfaces

For legacy PreSonus audio interfaces (Quantum ES, Revelator, Studio-series), Universal Control Surface offers powerful zero-latency hardware-based monitor control—everything you need to create high-quality monitor mixes and more. To use the Universal Control app, you must connect your audio interface to a computer running Universal Control for macOS or Windows and connect your iOS device to the same network as your computer.

System Requirements

● Control of supported mixers requires that the mobile device be connected to the same wireless network as a StudioLive Series III mixer.

### 1/5 — App no longer works properly

*2026-07-27, version 5.1*

Fender managed to break this app within weeks of taking over the company. This latest release from July absolutely does not work.  I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. Nothing has changed in my network or my set up. When I do get it to load the second my iPad goes to sleep the app crashes and the whole UI disappears, and I have to literally shut down and restart not just the app, but also the mixer itself.

### 1/5 — Unstoppable update on the app! Now it won’t work?

*2026-07-12, version 5.0.1*

I just don’t get it, shouldn’t this app be checked before being put out onto the App Store? 
I soooo wished fender hadn’t gotten involved, i though this sort of thing might happen after they bought personas out. fender please just stick to guitar’s. PLEASE!

### 1/5 — Update Renders Your Expensive Mixer Useless.  Disgusted.

*2026-07-05, version 5.0.1*

This version does not even connect to our AR24R.  We have zero way of using our IEM system now. It seems like you have no intention on fixing this either after everyone’s complaints. How about you stick do what you do best, suing guitar companies and leave the stuff that used to work to true Presonus developers. I am beyond disappointed. 

I’d leave -10 stars if I could.

### 1/5 — No 1810

*2026-06-25*

So my 1810 is dumped…. Thanks for nothing fender.

### 1/5 — Presonus not recognized

*2026-06-24, version 5.0.1*

Doesn’t recognize the Quantum es2. Fully returning my presonus devices. Fender has destroyed another brand.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-06-21, version 5.0.1*

The app automatically updated and now does not work with our rm32 presonus mixer.

### 1/5 — Why?..  Absolute Katastrophe !

*2026-06-11*

Unsere sämtlichen Presonus mixer sind nicht mehr zu steuern, seit diese App installiert ist. Die empfohlene Neu-Verbindung nach Registrierung ist unmöglich. Support unerreichbar!
En Grund sich in zukunft gegen presonus hardware zu entscheiden . Wer macht so einen Schrott?
Abolute Katastrophe!!

### 2/5 — Can Not Change Channel Names

*2026-05-17, version 5.0.1*

There is no way to change the channel scripts, you get numbers or icons only, so if you put Bass on channel 4  on the 16.0.2, there is no way to tell that to Universal Control, that Bass is on 4, you better remember where you put it. Hopefully this feature will be in future updates. I have asked for a fix but it falls on deaf ears

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2026-05-13, version 5.0.1*

Keep seeing “firmware update available” tapping does nothing. All my drivers are updated. The forum posts are scant at most. Probably will never buy a fender recording product ever again. Sad!

### 1/5 — It doesn't load

*2026-05-03, version 5.0*

It only loads the demo.
